...Tyson is the exception. In Pensacola, Fla., Michelle Gale is struggling with the day-to-day challenges of raising eight children on less than half the $80,000 salary her Army reservist husband Randy was earning as a lineman for Sprint. He left three months ago for what could be two years with the 350th Civil Affairs Command in Hungary. Michelle fixed the dryer herself to save the service charge, but then the car broke down. Their savings account has shrunk to $175, and groceries alone cost $800 a month. When Randy asks how things are going, Michelle tries...
...smaller paycheck is just the beginning of the adjustment for many families. Some live too far from a military base to take easy advantage of the benefits of military life. In Hammond, La., if Janet Wright wants to save on tax-free groceries at a military commissary while her husband serves in California, she has to load a cooler into her car and drive at least an hour.

Although she called herself a venture capitalist and ran a consulting business from home, she spent much of her time courting California's political players. She was host of a fund raiser for the failed gubernatorial race of former L.A. mayor Richard Riordan and gave $10,000 to his campaign. When Chinese leaders Jiang Zemin and Zhu Rongji came to town...
...time a Ministry of Health investigation found on April 11 that there were indeed two SARS victims on that plane, it was too late. One of the flight attendants had infected her husband, her mother, her father and her brother, as well as an elderly male patient in the room across the hall, who in turn infected his wife and two sons. The doctor caring for the stewardess also came down with the virus. But, again, until April 11 none of those cases could be confirmed as SARS, because the link between the stewardesses and the sick airplane passengers hadn...
